Nope. I think we would both have had a good laugh if either one of us brought it up!

@Freckles: Us too! We literally had nothing except student loans, one car, and laptops when we got married

Yes we do. It's very simple and wasn't a big deal at all. DH comes from some money and land shared among siblings. It's not like a she cheats she gets nothing prenup, just protecting an existing estate.

Nope! Not necessary in our situation.
I totally understand when one party owns a business, is part of an estate, etc.

We talked about it, but decided against getting a prenup. My parents wanted me to get a prenup because I have some significant investments.

No, our situation didn't call for one. If one of us had significant investments/assets prior to marriage then we absolutely would have. I think it's smart to protect yourself.
GOLD / pineapple / 12662 posts
We considered it (it was my suggestion!), but decided against one in the end.

We don't - neither of us had any situation that really called for one. My husband will inherit my MIL's (sizable) estate and property when she dies (only child), and I told him I would be happy to sign a prenup concerning those assets as they are his and frankly, not something I feel that I'm entitled to if we divorce. He wasn't interested in signing one.

Nope! We're both broke
If I was heir to a size able fortune or estate I may have considered it, or if I already had a large best egg myself. But I was married at 20 so nope

No. What money we had went into the condo we bought together right as we married.
GOLD / coconut / 8266 posts
No because neither one of us had anything truly significant to protect.
GOLD / wonderful olive / 19030 posts
haha no we have no money right now. We both will likely inherit some land with the passing of parents/grandparents but not enough to need a legal document to cover us.

Nope, and we're both attorneys. We didn't have much in the way of assets, but we wouldn't have done one anyway for religious reasons.

I understand the need for one for those who are a part of an estate or have some significant assets, but that is not the case for us. We have no need for one.

Lol no neither of us had anything to protect!
I have a close friend whose father is angry she isn't doing a prenup because she and her siblings will be inheriting a lucrative family business and large estate, and she did consider doing one, but was afraid of offending her fiance. I can see it from both perspectives...
wonderful grape / 20453 posts
Nope. My family set their money up in a trust for me, so a prenup wasn't necessary for us. It did come up, though, and DH was more than happy to sign it, but a trust was better.
GOLD / wonderful apricot / 22646 posts
Nope! DH's inheritance is set up in a trust, no need for one otherwise!

no pre-nup, not much to protect. Anything we have at the end of our marriage will have been grown together.
I would have liked to have a document stating how we will support each other or divvy up assets in case we divorce, so we don't fight over it. I doubt a divorce will be a smooth 50/50 where both of us will want different things. But, again it's hard to project how to split when everything is new and acquired together after the marriage.
papaya / 10343 posts
No, although I'm not opposed to them. We just didn't have anything to protect!

@gingerbebe: please share which religion forbids a prenup?
blogger / coconut / 8306 posts
@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: Catholicism frowns on it and sees it as a problem in the marriage.
wonderful kiwi / 23653 posts
#1 - We ain't rich, at all
#2 - Based on our faith I don't think we would've ever drawn up one either
pomelo / 5298 posts
I had assets to protect, but my DH was adamantly opposed as he felt like it was planning for our marriage to fail. He was very passionate in his argument and I could see his point. We don't have one, and I'm perfectly okay with that.
cantaloupe / 6131 posts
@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: We are Protestant. Nothing in our religion prohibits pre-nuptual agreements, so I apologize if that's how it sounded. However, our faith generally discourages divorce in most instances. DH and I share the same religious beliefs and when we became engaged, we did so with the understanding that neither of us would ever consider divorce. We felt prenuptual agreements was contrary to that stance, since it would cause us to consider divorce, so we declined.
